🍽️PASS PAUSE PLAY #15: A LITTLE MORE 🍽️ Songs are made by hungry people, chasing words and sounds that capture multitudes. That appetite is often left wanting - craving another verse, a few more ears, or a little more recognition. This month’s show will feature three artists navigating how they fill their plate. PASS PAUSE PLAY #15 will feature: Isobel Knight, Nead Next Door, and Julia Johnson. ISOBEL KNIGHT - @knightizz Isobel Knight writes and plays songs where the venn diagram circles of Julia Jacklin and Bruce Springsteen cross over. Her versatile voice, soul-folk melodies and lyricism have carried her music into hearts and charts. Armed with her acoustic guitar and a story-telling instinct, she’s a folk singer with an old soul and a quick sense of humour. NEAD NEXT DOOR - @neadnextdoor Nead Cristaudo is a proudly queer, non-binary creative, originally from the tropics of Mamu country, now living and making on Gadigal Land. They are a writer, performer and vocal coach, who is very passionate about making new Australian work. Whether that be developing new musicals or writing and performing under their stage name, Néad Next Door. Néad loves to be constantly fusing together their love of musical theatre, pop and folk music to share all their big feelings on stage. JULIA JOHNSON - @juliajohnsonmusic Julia Johnson is an Australian singer, songwriter producer and multi instrumentalist. Born in Canberra, she currently lives in Sydney. Her voice has been compared to Florence Welch, Joni Mitchell and even a ‘treacherous mountain river’. Johnson’s songs evoke striking echoes of love and loss, at once ruthlessly intimate, and universal. On stage, Johnson’s warm presence and unpredictable banter usher you in to her folk-tinged musical universe, where she brandishes antique folk instruments with exceptional and unusual technique. 🍽️PASS PAUSE PLAY #15: A LITTLE MORE 🍽️ ⏭️⏸️▶️ Songs + Stories in Sydney Tuesday 7th April - 6:30pm 189B Saint Johns Road, Forest Lodge Tix via link in bio 🔗

🗺️ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: NICK WINTERS🗺️ Nick Winters is a 20 year old songwriter who’s spent most of his time writing and creating alone without much sharing - he’s looking to change that. Nick’s 2025 single ‘Disembodied’ draws on the wistful folk stylings of Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens and Jeff tweedy. Nick writes: “I didn’t grow up surrounded by or really listening to much music at all, this means that a lot of my music discovery has been self-led, and took place mostly on the internet.” Catch Nick at PASS PAUSE PLAY #14: HOW DID WE GET HERE? ⏭️⏸️▶️ Songs + Stories in Sydney Tuesday 3rd March - 6:30pm 189B Saint Johns Road, Forest Lodge
